Chapter 273 - My Beautiful Face
"Your highness, I request you not to tell about today's incident to the Crown Prince," The Royal Inspector urged from the Sixth Prince, who was still holding his cheek.
"Why shouldn't I? It is your negligence that it happened," Lei Wanxi stated and got into the house cart in anger. Chuntao also got into the cart, and the door was closed. The chauffeur started the horse cart.
"Your highness, forgive me for today. Because of me, you got injured," Chuntao lowered her head and apologized.
"It was not your fault, Sister Chun. Did I act well today?" Lei Wanxi asked with glistening eyes.
Chuntao lifted her head and looked into the eyes of Lei Wanxi, who was smiling.
"Don't be shocked. I never let someone hit on my beautiful face. Because this was the best way to punish him, that's why I let him hit me. Now, I need to hide this face from Brother Sheng else he will kill the entire family of that guy," stated Lei? Wanxi.
"Your highness, you are a considerate person. Bingbing did wrong for which he will surely be punished, but his family has no role in that. But your highness, your cheek has swollen. I am afraid that the Crown Prince will find out about this," Chuntao said concernedly.
"I will not go in front of him. I need to maintain a distance from Brother Sheng. Sister Chun, I will tell about this incident to Brother Nianzu," asserted Lei Wanxi.
Chuntao furrowed her brows. "Your highness, please do not inform anything to the Fourth Prince. The things which Bingbing said were not pleasant to hear," Chuntao requested Lei Wanxi, who contemplated for a minute.
"If Sister Chun wants this, then I will not tell anyone." Lei Wanxi said, which relieved Chuntao. "But Sister Chun, what if the Fourth Brother finds out about this from someone else. Brother will not feel good. In my opinion, we should inform him. Don't worry, I will tell him." Lei Wanxi affirmed.
Chuntao nodded. "Thank you for today, your highness."
"Do not say thanks. You were lucky that I was there. But what were you doing in the restaurant?" Suddenly Lei Wanxi asked her the question.
"It is also known for rest and fun. People can go there to rest for a day and play games etc. I was told by someone in the village that Bingbing has gone there with my friend. Bingbing had promised to marry me, but then he cheated on me," Chuntao stated; her eyes filled with tears.
"Marry you?" Lei Wanxi was bewildered.
"Yes, your highness," Chuntao replied.
"Don't be sad over that man. It is good that you found out about his true nature earlier," Lei Wanxi proclaimed. Chuntao agreed with him and wiped the tears from her eyes.
Soon, they both reached the Palace. Lei Wanxi told Chuntao to go to her quarter. Chuntao again thanked the Sixth Prince before leaving from there. Lei Wanxi saw a minister and went to him.
"Minister Tian," Lei Wanxi called out his name, who stopped upon hearing his name.
"Sixth Prince, what happened to your cheek and your lip?" Minister Tian worriedly asked.
"Shhh" Lei Wanxi placed his forefinger on his lips.? "Lower your voice, Minister Tian," Lei Wanxi whispered. "Did you see the Crown Prince?" Lei Wanxi inquired about him.
"No. The Crown Prince met us ministers in the early morning. After that, I have not seen his highness," Minister Tian replied. Lei Wanxi heaved a sigh of relief, resting his hand on his chest.
"Minister Tian, can you do something for me?" Lei Wanxi asked for a favor.
"You do not need to ask, Prince Wanxi. Just give me the order," Minister Tian humbly said.
"Please bring the Royal Physician to my chamber quietly, without anyone's notice. I do not want anyone to find out about this," Lei Wanxi said, pointing towards his cheek.
"But, Prince Wanxi-"
Lei Wanxi grabbed the hands of Minister Tian and pleaded with him. "I do not want anyone to get worried."
"Prince Wanxi, you do not need to cry. I understand," Minister Tian stated and told Lei Wanxi to go to his chamber. Lei Wanxi stepped ahead when he saw General Xiao was coming .
He turned back and started walking in the opposite direction of General Xiao, who saw him and called his name, but Lei Wanxi did not stop and ran away.
"Minister Tian, why did Prince Wanxi run away!?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"He was not running away. I think General Xiao saw something wrong," Minister Tian lied to Xiao Zhan, who furrowed.
Oppositely, Lei Wanxi reached the chamber. He checked his face in the mirror and saw the swelling had increased. "I can handle everyone but handling Brother Sheng is difficult. He will burn that man and his family alive," Lei Wanxi muttered as he touched his lips. "Ahh, it is hurting," Lei Wanxi complained.
A growling sound came from his stomach. "Oh no! I could not even eat my lunch there. Is someone outside?" Lei Wanxi shouted. A maidservant came there and bowed.
"Bring the lunch for me," Lei Wanxi told her. The maidservant stepped back and left for the kitchen. Minister Li Tian brought the Royal Physician. Lei Wanxi sat on the chaise and asked the Royal Physician if his face would be okay.
"Don't worry, Prince Wanxi. I will apply the medicine. and the swelling will go away in a day. But, may I know how the Sixth Prince got injured? It seems someone hit you," asserted the Royal Physician.
"No! Who has the dare to hit on my face? It just happened. Please quickly apply the medicine," Lei Wanxi affirmed. The Royal Physician nodded and applied the medicine on the swollen part and then on the lower lip. "Keep it for ten minutes, Prince Wanxi," the Royal Physician said, looking at the lower lip. Lei Wanxi nodded and thanked him.
"Please do not tell anyone about this. I do not want to trouble my family in this busy time," Lei Wanxi stated. The Royal Physician nodded and left the chamber.
